Bath resealing in Gwernyfed

Bath resealing at your home in Gwernyfed

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms

  • Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Gwernyfed questions

How much does bath resealing cost in Gwernyfed?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How long will it take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Gwernyfed?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Sinks and worktops
